Gamers sending Jimmy Kimmel death threats? I wonder if he is going to flee his home and start taking donations to "help" him cope with this injustice.

When people say that gamers or "internet people" are bad and we turn around and pick up our pitch forks and start burning down houses... we aren't doing anything but proving them right. And in this case it is giving him ammo for his show.
I honestly don't understand why people watch people play games over the internet. I don't get it. I'm 30 and I just don't get it. I rather be playing them.
Particularly kimmel. Last relevant in 200...3 think it was?I can't comprehend people watching tv.
I don't get people watching sports either... it's just what some people enjoy. Some enjoy golf, some enjoy football. I happen to enjoy video games.
Right. However, you can play a video. It isn't exactly easy to setup to play a sport. Requires a bunch of people and physical conditions.
Watching some random person play something you could very well be doing is odd to me. And, before someone mentions "well, do you watch friends play?" No. that's boring too...but, at least, I know the actual person.
My friend livestreams games and it's the stupidest fucking thing.
Don't disagree with people doing it or hate on it specifically, but yeah, as much as I love gaming personally this is pretty much my opinion on it as well.
The problem with people like this, is that they help make things worse.
Yes it is ok to be upset with something that somebody says or does, but when you turn around and act in ways like this you are only proving anything bad said about you. Just like any minority group that is be bad and they turn around and respond with violence. That isn't helping anything.

Kimmel is an idiot... "I can't comprehend people watching other people play video games"
He's probably around my age (give or take some time) you telling me he never went over to a friends house, or some family member with older cousins, and people were playing nintendo and you just watch them play? Sometimes because they were so good they could play a while, sometimes because they were dicks and never gave you a turn.
Oh, please! Like all professional bullshitters, he cherry picks from the 10% of extreme comments to boost his ratings, while ignoring 90% of level headed criticism. This is not a gamer problem nor an Internet problem. This is click baty media problem.
I like to watch people watch other people play games.
esports are also lame.
Level headed criticism isn't funny and his job is to be funny. I don't really care for his show, but even bad comedy is still a lot better than most click bait stuff.
90% level headed criticism? Even if there wasn't gamer nerdrage, just the fact that it's Youtube comments means at least 66.6% of the comments are pure idiocy.Oh, please!

E-sports though, that's something I don't grasp.
But I don't have too.
We have always lived in a world where people got paid disproportionate amounts of money for seemingly stupid things:
Tiger Woods got rich off Golf, for crying out loud. The entire cast of Jersey Shore would be working at a fast food joint in a just world. Kim Kardashian somehow is a millionaire, so is Stone Cold Steve Austin.

I watch the occasional Let's Play, because I'm actually too lazy to play some games myself. Awesome games I do play, but most games aren't awesome and I like to just skip ahead the boring parts.

Even if we go less ridiculous: LeBron James, Tom Cruise, Rihanna. Why are they more deserving of fame and fortune than PewDiePie?
